From the start this podcast offered a less-UK/US focus on the war with good presenters who are clearly knowledgeable and experienced. Of late the episodes have got longer and the aim less clear. It started out doing myth busting (which is a bit of a cul de sac) so good to diversify but now it is just a chunk of episodes on a campaign that don’t feel fully planned or answer a specific angle or question. It’s fine. But just fine.
WW2: Both Sides of the Wire” is hands down one of the best history podcasts I’ve come across. It’s clear the hosts put in serious research, but what makes it stand out is how they manage to strip everything back to the facts—no bias, no clichés, no preaching.

This is a decent podcast, but the theme of being some kind of “myth busting” podcast means they cover amateur hour topics with myths that uneducated people believe.

I found Battle Guide via YouTube and decided after listening to a lot of JRE, I needed a break and broaden my knowledge and understanding of the European theatre of WW2. Great to get opinions and knowledge from both sides of the conflict. The boys are passionate and it shows in the quality of their product. Look forward to many more episodes. 5 stars!
